Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

While students mostly agree that living in the dorms isn’t a luxury, they do say that spending at least your freshman year there is a good experience. Students with experience in the dorms claim that the Quad and the brand-new Village are the best choices, while the Hill and the Extension are not up to par.

The Quad, Hill, and the Village are mostly coed but have a few all-girl buildings. The Village is brand new apartment-style dorms and is located right on campus near the football stadium and Coliseum. If you chose to live in the dorms, make sure to apply early to ensure a spot. Dorms tend to fill up very quickly, and off-campus housing is not always a guarantee. The fight for housing in Auburn can get pretty intense.

It Is Convenient to Live on Campus

I lived in the lower quad my freshman year and my room was in pretty good shape. It was also in the middle of campus so it was very close to all of my classes. The only problem I had with living on campus is that we are required to spend 995 dollars on food a semester and sometimes you can't really hear the fire alarm from your room if you are asleep.

Close and Convient

Everything is right outside your door. You dont have to worry about taking the transit or driving and searching for a parking spot. Also, all the dining places on campus are right near all the dorms. The rooms closer to the heart of campus are smaller, but you are able to wake up 10 minutes before class and still get there in time.
